Are Sex Toys Safe?

Yes — sex toys are safe when you choose high-quality, body-safe materials and shop from a trusted, reputable retailer. Millions of Canadians use sex toys every day, and when used correctly, they’re considered one of the safest ways to explore intimacy, pleasure, and self-care.

At Cupid Boutique, your Canadian Owned & Operated adult store, we only carry body-safe sex toys, certified materials, and trusted brands approved for Canadian customers. Here’s everything you need to know about safety, materials, and responsible use.

What Makes a Sex Toy “Body-Safe”?

A body-safe sex toy is made from materials that are:

  • 🛡️ Non-toxic

  • 🌿 Phthalate-free

  • 🔒 Hypoallergenic

  • 💧 Easy to clean

  • 🧼 Non-porous (preferred for hygiene)

When browsing sex toys in Canada, look for these body-safe materials:

✔️ Medical-Grade Silicone

Soft, smooth, non-porous, hypoallergenic — the safest and most popular choice.

✔️ ABS Plastic

Hard, durable, non-porous, used in many vibrators and wands.

✔️ Glass (Borosilicate)

Temperature-friendly, ultra-smooth, and completely non-porous.

✔️ Stainless Steel

Heavy, luxurious, body-safe, and perfect for temperature play.

✔️ Body-Safe Elastomers

Used in beginner toys and strokers — soft, flexible, and skin-friendly.

Are Cheap Sex Toys Safe?

Not always. Low-cost, unregulated toys sold on generic marketplaces may contain:

  • Toxic dyes

  • Unsafe materials

  • Phthalates

  • Porous textures that absorb bacteria

This is why Canadians trust Cupid Boutique, where every toy is vetted for safety, material quality, and durability.

How to Use Sex Toys Safely

No matter which toy you choose, safe use is simple and important.

1. Clean Your Toys Before and After Use

Use:

  • Warm water

  • Mild soap

  • Toy-safe antibacterial cleaners

This prevents infection and keeps materials in top shape.

2. Use the Right Lubricant

  • Water-based lubes are safe for all toys

  • Silicone lube is not safe on silicone toys

  • Hybrid lubes work on most toys

3. Check for Damage

Cracks, tears, and peeling surfaces can trap bacteria.

4. Start Slow

Especially with anal toys or first-time users. Choose beginner sizes and soft materials.

5. Always Use Toys With a Flared Base

Essential for anal play safety.

 

Are Vibrators Safe?

Absolutely — vibrators are among the safest sex toys when made with body-safe materials.
At Cupid Boutique, all vibrators are:

  • Phthalate-free

  • Non-porous

  • Quality-tested

  • Made from silicone or ABS plastic

They are safe for both internal and external use when paired with water-based lube.

Are Dildos Safe?

Yes — as long as the dildo is made from body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel.
Avoid cheap jelly dildos or unlabelled rubber toys.

 

Are Sex Toys Safe for Beginners?

Yes — sex toys are extremely safe for beginners. Start with:

  • Bullet vibrators

  • Mini massagers

  • Small silicone butt plugs

  • Simple strokers

  • Slimline dildos
